So I have a buddy that has been on my butt about making him hungry every time I post pics of my food on Facebook. Last night while chatting he told me he'd pay for the meat and shipping if I'd send him some. This is well out of my knowledge base, and figured I'd see if anyone here had some experience with going through with this process.
My plan is to send him 4lbs of pulled pork and maybe a couple slabs of ribs. It will all be vac bagged and frozen. I talked with my post office lady today, and she quoted me a price on shipping a 20"x20"x20" 20lb box from me her in Kansas to him in Alabama with 2-3 day arrival time was like $57 which didn't seem too awful. Especially compared to the overnight which was like $230 something...ouch!
I'm thinking going dry Ice as the amount of time will be that long, but I'm not sure if it'll be enough. So those of you have done something like this before, or even considered it; what are your thoughts/opinions/ideas?
